About The Position

As an Infrastructure Engineer at Forus, you’ll be our first dedicated hire focused on infrastructure and developer experience. You’ll own and evolve the core systems that make our engineering team faster, our platform more reliable, and our company more scalable. This role sits at the foundation of everything we build — from AI product development to partner integrations to high-stakes, high-throughput operations. You’ll have the opportunity to define our foundational infra practices — from CI/CD to observability to cloud architecture — and set the tone for how we scale. You’ll work across infrastructure, DevOps, and developer productivity, building systems that let us move fast without compromising stability or clarity. This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to "act like an owner" and commit yourself to Forus' success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.
